WinSPC interface
The user is given a choice between two interfaces that can be customized using a variety of options. The interface is chosen during the installation of the program, but you can change your choice at any time. Those who haven't used the software will probably choose an interface similar to Windows Explorer because it's more familiar to Windows users.
